Not Your Typical Christmas Colors
Hello! Welcome to my blog. Today's project inspiration is from the latest Newton's Nook Designs Blog Challenge which is a color challenge. I used a NND stamp and die sets that I have acquired a while back and have been itching to color. I know that the stamp is a Christmas theme stamp and the challenge colors are spring themed but that's what makes it challenging, right? Not to forget, I made this into a swing card for more fun.
The cat is colored with Tisoy, my sister's Siamese cat, as my model.
The stamp set & coordinating die I used on this project is the NN Newton's Stocking. I stamped the cat image on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I made sure the image is dry before coloring it with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. I colored the Christmas stocking with a plaid pattern using the colors of the challenge. I die cut the image using the coordinating die. I heat embossed the sentiment on the stocking. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink with clear embossing powder. The sentiment stamp is part of the stamp set.
For the swing mechanism, I die cut a triangle on a green patterned paper. I die cut a small circle on the center of this triangle to hold the circle foam adhesive that will make the image swing.
I trimmed a yellow and blue cardstock at 2 1/8" x 5 1/2" for the background. I embossed this using a snowflake embossing folder.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Stitched Sentiment Birthday Card
For the background, I used the KS Buffalo Plaid Background craft die. I die cut this on a light gray cardstock. I adhered this panel to a grape colored cardstock cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
To add gift accents to the background, I die cut the squares using the die on different colored cardstocks. I wrapped a metallic twine around this square die cuts to mimic a present. I adhered another square die cut to the back to secure the metallic twine and for a bit of dimension. I pieced these squares back to the plaid die cut.
I adhered the stitched sentiment to the plaid panel. I adhered the quokka with foam adhesive.
I thought about adding some bling to the panel but went against it. I wanted the focus to be on the sentiment and the quokka.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like today's project. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
